We're taking ICE and CBP to court on behalf of people like R.C., who was carrying proof of his lawful permanent residence status when immigration agents used unnecessary force and arrested him anyway.
Black graphic with a quote: "“I kept yelling that I was legal. An officer said ‘You're not from here. Where are you from?’ I asked them not to yell at me. I again told them I was legal. They grabbed my wallet and phone and turned off my phone so the recording stopped... They were pointing weapons and yelling at me to shut up.” Quote is attributed to R.C., Minneapolis resident, in a sworn declaration in our lawsuit challenging ICE's unlawful actions.

"Vance wrote, 'You don’t get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US because you live in a palace in Caracas.'

OK? But apparently you do get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US if you’re a foreign head of state with ties to Trump’s inner circle..."

Spotify is running ads recruiting more ICE agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities, so we’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify
(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

This explanation by @velshi.com of what Trump is doing with ICE, while hollowing out the FBI, is dead on the money. We need to pay attention now, before it's too late. I had the good fortune to join him for this segment. Do not miss this. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...
'Blatantly unconstitutional’: Democracy professor on ICE tactics
ICE targeting students who have criticized the Trump administration is “blatantly unconstitutional,” warns professor of democracy Lucan Ahmad Way. “You can't simply racially profile or profile people based on their national origin and start pulling them off the streets,” says Joyce Vance. “That, by definition, is a police state.” With an explosion of new funding for ICE, as part of the GOP’s megabill, there’s yet more reason to be alarmed. With a rapid expansion of ICE, the danger, says Vance, “is that the people in charge are no longer the career officials with training who understand loyalty to the Constitution. These are quite literally people who understand loyalty to Donald Trump.”
